			<h1>About Luan Chat</h1>

			<p>This is a free web-based instant messaging service written for websites wanting to provide support through chat.  The other existing solutions are overcomplicated enterprise services that are often expensive.  All that is really needed is a simple general chat.  Each user gets a URL and other people can chat with the user through that URL.</p>

			<p>As a simple service, this doesn't implement features that can be handled elsewhere.  In particular it doesn't provide:</p>
			<ul>
				<li>file transfer - Use email instead.</li>
				<li>voice, video, and screen share - Use <a href="https://talky.io/">Talky</a> or <a href="https://www.zoom.com/">Zoom</a> instead.  With Talky, you can set a Talky URL to be your voice URL for easy access.  With Zoom, post a meeting URL in chat.</li>
			</ul>

			<p>For questions, <a href="https://chat.luan.software/chat?with=fschmidt@gmail.com">contact me</a>.  This is an open <a href="https://hg.reactionary.software/repo/chat/">source</a> project.</p>
